A little farfetched but maybe, just maybe, I have discovered the plot *SPOILERS?*

Okay after years of lurking, literally since around when VC came out, I have finally started to post. This is just speculation but I think my theory makes sense.

Numerous grand theft auto 4 boards have already posted solid evidence that the guy getting blown up by the car in the trailer is Niko. Now this is where my story starts. Those Russian ( I think they're russian) guys seen at the end of "Move Up Ladies" and "Everybody's a Rat" put a bomb into Niko's car. The bomb knocked Niko out and the Russians kidnap him. They hold him hostage (looks like he is held captive when the Russian at the end of "Everybody's a Rat" is holding out a hacksaw) and force him to be an informant of his little gang. Gang meaning Roman, Elizabetha, Little Jacob, etc. I think this because at the end of Move Up Ladies he is giving in to what ever the Russians want him to do. Thats also why I think in the new trailer they show Elizbetha saying everybody is a rat and then Niko, without hesitation, says "Not me."

I feel like forgetting something very crucial that I had been thinking of earlier but I can not remember :/. Once again its all just speculation.

I agree it was most likely eye candy, and I assumed the scene when they get kidnapped by the Rrussians is a direct result of nico being hit with the bud of an AK47 (by one of the interrogators no less) in trailer 3.

In one of the rewind parts of the fourth trailer, I slowed it down enough to see that Niko was sitting on a park bench with the guy who slapped him in the face in the third trailer, backstabber perhaps? At about 1:05.26 minutes
